The Center for Pastoral Counseling

The Center for Pastoral Counseling of Greater Philadelphia is a community-based interfaith ministry, located at the Covenant United Methodist Church in Springfield, which has hosted a counseling program in its facility for over forty years.

The Center, which is joint ministry supported by a cluster of local congregations, provides professionally-accredited counseling, consultation and educational programs and services offered to members of area congregations and the communities they serve.

Our pastoral perspective grounds us in a reverence for all of creation, while our professional training equips us with the needed skills to help our clients discover untapped potential for personal growth, change and healing.

We see ourselves as catalysts for change and seek to facilitate that change at the point where emotional and spiritual currents converge.

Our goal is to make creative use of the best of modern psychological understandings and blend them with the insights and guidance derived from spiritual wisdom and religious tradition.

Our hope is to foster the empowerment of all who seek our help until they are able to recover their own counsel and experience as much personal healing, health and wholeness as possible.

Most importantly, we acknowledge, with respect, the courage often required to make the first call seeking professional help. But we hope to provide a place where clients can feel safe, grounded and secure, working with their counselors to explore difficult issues better faced together than alone.
